ISO target schools [NJ resident, 3.88 UW, 36 ACT, 1540 SAT for STEM, physics]

Not sure I agree re all schools other than the Ohio ones being reaches for science/physics majors or male or ED applicants, certainly not Bates and Vassar with OP’s grades and scores. The analysis on “reaches” on CC can oftentimes be a bit more nuanced than it is. The bright lines are not always so bright.
